I would love to see how it works, also because besides the induction machine, we've done another nylon 6 nut for a lathe that's going to be used for gundrilling. I honestly say that I'm impressed on how the nut works, but It would be a good chance to try that method too. Special care has to be taken in polishing the screw I guess, if not taking out the nut would be almost impossible. -- *Leonardo Marsaglia*. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
